A little scoop before Oct 7, when ICANN publishes 1,000+ applications for new top-level domains: one of them is .bsky! It's a long road (18 to 24 months), but if it goes through, handles like alice.bsky become possible.

are the little lights satellites?

i used to do 8:00 appointments with my therapist in peoria and the only reason i started asking for later times is because they called me half a dozen times when i was halfway there to tell me that my therapist called out. i did it once too when i got a flat outside metamora.

100% me. i have to drive an hour to the dentist tomorrow to arrive at 8:45. i will not be needing an alarm. i will wake up and shower and feed my cats and get high and chill for an hour or two and then drive to peoria.

what i meant to say is that—despite being pro-conspiracy—this is a very good show. some small bloopers made it on screen here and there but the writing is actually really good, and tho patriarchy is still evident (especially early) they did a pretty good job for a 90s show in shaking all that off.

now in season 5. the soundtrack started to get more tolerable toward the end of season 3; the atonal stuff was minimized to its proper place (suspense, fear, etc.) and tonality took over, tho it's typical "inspired" tv stuff that slightly rearranges classical hits. that's always a fun game.

the men generally do not have much in the way of moral code. they all grew up in churches (almost required for status in this world) where the only boys who practiced christian morals irl were losers. the girls are expected to join in, but risk losing status if they do. there's little risk for men.

000

despite sorority girls regularly engaging in wild frat house parties—it's virtually required in sororities that you socialize with men in particular fraternities with a similar social status, or in partnership with your sorority—it's a lot easier for a woman's reputation to be damaged than a man's.

100

sororities are not officially segregated anymore but they are de facto segregated with few exceptions. the white sororities with the highest status (i remember ΔΔΔ having high status on my campus) tend to be populated by the most physically attractive white girls, sometimes very samey-looking.

100

i think this is especially true in greek life, a status symbol bc dues are expensive. girls who grow up with money and do cotillion etc. are trapped in an antiquated social order whereby a girl's primary goal in life is to attract a good husband. some sororities have higher social status than others

we're conditioned to desperately seek mend frays in our social circle, to smooth over any possible drama, and for her that was especially true in the case of the perpetrator who apologized to her afterwards. he knew what he did, but she was socialized to minimize the harm that was done to her by men

100

it didn't occur to her even though she had compulsively done the same thing in the aftermath, and was actively trying to dig her way out of that socially constructed hole that so many victims fall into after the assault because they've seen what happens to women who try to stand up for themselves.

cornell is a good school and i'm not saying she didn't know the definitions of the words that she ultimately used. just that it didn't occur to her that describing it as implication would give the cops the wiggle room they needed to tell themselves and the DA that it was consensual and not criminal.

100

the parenthetical at the end of this passage implies she changed her story. this is a woman who knew what happened to her but didn't have the language to make herself perfectly clear. we're not socialized for specific language like that; we're socialized to euphemize www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/n...

screenshot of a passage from the gift-linked new york times article. content warning: description of traumatic sexual assault. the passage reads:

She then described being in a bedroom as the evening escalated, with up to seven men entering and leaving as the night wore on — some having sexual contact with her and some snorting ketamine off her body, she said. She described feeling coerced, being “pretty incapacitated” and “numb” and feeling trapped.

“I felt like hiding under the covers of the bed was the only option for me at that point, because the individuals who had just entered the room were standing between me and the only exit from the room,” her statement said.

The transcript of a Nov. 14 interview she gave also contained more definitive language that the police omitted from her statement: “I can say with 100 percent confidence I was raped.”

The language in her recent lawsuit was stronger still: It said she was “incapable of consenting” when she arrived at the party, was “forced” to have vaginal and oral sex, and that one of the men “commanded” her to snort ketamine off his penis. (Her police statement said he was “implying” she should snort it.)

that guy took a train from denmark to be there

just realized he still has 86 on the brain

i thought those were weird concentrations for any drug, so i looked it up, and apparently it's 325 or 81 for aspirin. 81 is still weird, but it is what it is.

oh that’s fair. i don’t remember much of it either. but that color palette is hard to forget.

Like the anti-woke backlash of which it's part, the whole "campuses as hotbeds of left-wing radicalism" discourse willfully confuses the noise for the signal. Most people go for a job credential and leave deeply socialized into the protocols of power, of which violence against women is central.

idk didn't she become some kind of icon/representative of whiteness (vs blackness) in women's basketball at some point? (i don't follow sports but i saw it on the feed)

i have not heard of these things except for the latter being the cia and/or maybe an airport? this excerpt has not convinced me that i need to search it up either

yeah the post was solo on my feed so i didn't start at the beginning of the thread, and read that whole passage without knowing until the end

it is also kind of a stroke of good luck when you're a woman trying to convince medical professionals that your pain is real and bad

TIL that would be legal

A lot of people said a lot of things about the ineffectiveness of production limitations for generating greenhouse gas reductions and speeding up renewable adoption for the past decade which were clearly false. May "keynesianism means we have to keep building oil and gas infrastructure" finally die

i have come to realize that opioid-crisis era pain doctors get paid a lot of money to aggressively pursue nontreatment of your pain. and it's not just when it comes to opioids. any possible treatment for pain is to be avoided; their goal is for you to never come back and just learn to deal with it.

Just saw an 80 reply thread (on Threads) of bots saying Black Caribbeans aren’t Black. Don’t compare Blacksky to that bot farm, faux engagement generator, anti-blackness factory ever again.

It is breathtaking. Like many things these days it is hard, but necessary, to figure what is a continuity and what is a rupture. EdTech has always been a private sector parasite feeding off the public sector. The rupture is AI EdTech is experimenting on the rich instead of the poor.

this informs a lot of the right's refusal to acknowledge climate change as something we caused and can fix. they see it as a sign of the end times; attempting to fix it is like going against god in their eyes.

I keep telling people about how the Christian "Left Behind" books, literal fantasies about the apocalypse, were super, super popular in the late 90s/ early 2000s. I used to read them. Major disasters, while terrible, were also framed by evangelical churches as titillating...sexy almost.

my blender speed settings spin in the key of b-flat major or maybe g minor; i only have 3 notes (B♭3, C4, D4). the same day i noticed this, we had a guy cutting up a large tree with a chainsaw because a storm had taken it. the chainsaw has an incredible range. i think it goes below human hearing?
